DC Editor Adam remembers the writer of "a fine bogey tale"…

This Hampstead plaque commemorates the Edinburgh-born writer of The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Mount Vernon, NW3 – keep an eye out for this one if you're joining David on the (largely Halloween-free) Hampstead Walk this morning.

Hampstead is not alone in laying claim to a flake of the legacy of Scotland’s most critically respected 19th Century writer. I have ...

Last month I was honoured to take part in the Ngaio Marsh Awards blog tour to celebrate the finalists in the eighth annual Ngaio Marsh Awards, for excellence in New Zealand crime, mystery and thriller writing for which I reviewed the engaging non-fiction true crime book: The Many Deaths of Mary Dobie by David Hastings.

This is the inspiring story of a designer who has never forgotten its origins making the ancient traditions of its land of origin contemporary. Clean lines and elegant colors inspired by the traditions of the Island of Riau. Here is what Wilsen Willim tells us about his background: 

This is the example that the study pays back especially when it turns into small handmade pieces of art. Unique objects that assume an added value being made by an artist who really knows the forms and subjects that she works with. Graceful and elegant, these jewels have a story to tell.

Film: The Invisible Man
Format: TCM on rockin’ flatscreen.

When you think of the classic Universal monsters, the one that tends to be forgotten is The Invisible Man. I think that might be because he’s the most human of those monsters. Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and Imhotep the mommy have all died in some respect and have come back to life. The Wolf Man and the Creature from the Black Lagoon are significantly non-human in some way. But Dr. Jack ...

When mini bouquets are the better choice

Flower arrangements come in all shapes and sizes. Mini bouquets have become increasingly popular for a number of reasons and they are sometimes a better option than those of the full sized variety.

One main reason for choosing smaller bouquets is to decorate smaller spaces. So, if you have a moderate sized buffet table and minimal space for décor, these bunches are perfect for filling in those empty spaces and adding colour.

Firstly, take some time to walk around and collect some dry plant material like twigs, pine cones, nuts from trees, acorns, and bark. You can also save some red or orange flower petals and dry them out. Читать дальше...

Roses in autumn arrangements

Making the perfect autumn bouquet largely depends on choosing the right flowers and the right colours. In most cases, we seek out our favourite seasonal flowers. However, this does not mean that you are strictly limited to seasonal blooms. There are a number of flowers that are so popular, that they are in stock at your local florist throughout the year.

(caricature of Donald Trump is by DonkeyHotey.)

Donald Trump has been more interested in arguing with Gold Star families than respecting their sacrifice -- both in the campaign and recently. This doesn't sit well with other Gold Star families. The following is an open letter from a Gold Star mother to Trump:

My son was killed in Iraq. Here’s my message to Trump: On October 4th, 2017, ...

I thought this weekend I would make our Christmas pudding for this Christmas and get it done and put away so that it is nicely ripened for the big day.  Christmas puddings are a  really big deal over here in the UK. Back home we might have had a Carrot Pudding with Brown Sugar Sauce, but we didn't really do Christmas Puddings as such. The carrot pudding would usually have to be made on the day, although admittedly,  my MIL used to make it and freeze ...

Kari Jobe shares the meaning behind her hit single ‘Heal Our Land,’ sharing with FOX News that it’s a reminder that God wants to come back for a pure and spotless bride.

Kelly Rowland and husband Tim Witherspoon, along with their son Titan were photographed for  Lance Gross I Turn My Camera On Series for Essence.

It seems strange to say it but I’d never heard of Katy Perry until she hit the headlines for dressing “inappropriately” on Sesame Street back in 2010. Even then it was at least a couple of years before I listened to her music properly. 

Apart from her music, which I now love, I’ve also got another reason to really like her as an artist. She’s always defending those who are different and in 2012, she did an awesome duet of Firework (an amazing and empowering song in its own right) with Jodi DiPiazza a young girl with autism.
